Cher has shared a painful memory from her teenage years in her new memoir, speaking about it now with a calm mindset than before.

The music legend writes that the incident happened when she was just 17 years old and still very young in life.

At that time, she was in a relationship with Sonny Bono, whom she got married later in October 27, 1964.

On this one very quiet evening, while Sonny was busy working and was away, Cher stayed over at friend’s apartment.

The night stay at her old pal’s house became very scary for her that it left her shaken and with a deep impact on her life which she never talked about before.

In her book, Cher explained that she woke up feeling unsafe and confused while she quickly ran to her friend for help.

“A few hours later I was aware of somebody lying next to me with their hand in my underpants. Half-asleep, I thought I was home and then suddenly remembered that I wasn’t.

It was dark and all I could see was the outline of a man. Frozen, I lay there, my heart racing, until he moved slightly away.”

Her friend reacted right away and made sure that Cher was protected. The fear, however, from that night stayed with her long after it was over.

The I Got You Babe singer also talked about why she never told Sonny about what happened back then, writing: “It took me the rest of the night to calm down and I didn’t dare breathe a word to Sonny for fear he’d murder the guy.”

The music icon shared that writing her memoir gave her the strength to finally speak about things she which kept quiet for many years.

Cher also got real about how young she was at that time when this terrifying incident happened and how difficult it was to talk about.

Police are conducting an immediate search for a teenage suspect following a double stabbing at Kingsbury High School in Brent, northwest London, this afternoon.

The victims are identified as 12-year-old and 13-year-old boys. The Metropolitan Police were called to the school on Bacon Lane around 12:40 p.m.

The London Ambulance Service treated both victims at the scene, which dispatched multiple crews, incident response officers, and a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance.

One victim is taken to a major trauma centre on a priority basis, while the other has been transported to the hospital.

There’s no current update on their health till now.

The police team led by Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams stated: “We recognise that this incident will cause considerable concern within the community.”

He asserted “significant resources” have been deployed to locate the suspect, described only as a teenage boy.

The school officials affirmed a “serious incident” has occurred and that the situation was “now under control.”

The school’s territory is locked down with no one permitted to enter or leave the site while the police investigation continues.

The school’s authorities have spoken to the parents of the affected students directly.

Till now, the motive of the attack has not been identified. 

The BBC’s new adaptation of Lord of the Flies has sparked a wave of strong reactions with many fans hailing it as “a masterpiece” while others criticizing its bold cinematography choices.

Adapted by Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne, the four-part series reimagines William Golding’s 1954 novel about schoolboys stranded on an island after a plane crash.

Daily Mail reported that viewers flooded social media with praise for the performances, calling the acting “absolutely impeccable” and “exceptional.”

One fan wrote, “Haunted me when we read it at school in the 70s, this series is stunning, beautifully shot and absolutely impeccable acting…”

Another added, “…this is what the BBC does brilliantly.”

Many admitted they watched all four episodes in one sitting, describing the adaptation as “the best drama they have seen on the BBC for years.”

The series’ pacing and emotional depth were highlighted as standout qualities.

Not all feedback was glowing.

Some viewers complained about the use of a fisheye lens, which created distorted, surreal visuals.

Critics on X (formerly Twitter) called the filmmaking style “horrific” and “unwatchable,” with one remarking, “Look at me screams the cinematographer—takes you out of the film.”

Others felt the vivid color grading and lens choices distracted from the story.

Despite the backlash, the adaptation has clearly struck a chord with audiences, reigniting the haunting themes of Golding’s novel for a new generation.

For many, the BBC’s bold approach has produced a series that is both unsettling and unforgettable.
